The genotypes referred to in this article were stated incorrectly. The genotype number 49 should have been stated as 48 and the number 27 should have been stated as 26. These errors occurred in the 'Abstract' section on page 1, in the ‘Discussion’ section on page 11, and within Fig. 5 on page 12.

The sentence in the 'Abstract' should have read:

‘Using previously described 2× standard deviation (sd) criteria to group sequences into separate clusters, we expanded the number of genogroups to 10 (GI-GX) and the number of genotypes to 48 (9 GI, 26 GII, 3 GIII, 2 GIV, 2 GV, 2 GVI and 1 genotype each for GVII, GVIII, GIX [formerly GII.15] and GX).’

The sentence in the 'Discussion' section on page 11 should have read:

‘Viruses in these ten genogroups can be further divided into 48 confirmed capsid genotypes based on amino acids of the complete VP1 and 60 confirmed P-types based on partial nucleotide sequences of RdRp regions.’

Fig. 5 on page 12 erroneously stated ‘27+2T’. This should have been stated as ‘26+2T’.

The authors apologise for any inconvenience.
